Technique Assessment

Set the white balance
“Dave had his white balance set to Auto, leaving his DSLR to pick the right colour temperature. I advised him to stick to one setting, eg. daylight, so his shots look consistent when he is reviewing them in JPEG format.”

Choose central AF
“I told Dave to change from the Automatic AF (autofocus) point selection mode to the central autofocus point. He had all the focus points selected, so the camera had all the control. By using the centre focus point he can select what to focus on, and then recompose his shot.”
